| Good point. Always try to ignore valid concern. Maybe it'll go away. |

No, it simply means you're just here to cause trouble. My opinion -- no need to disagree (I am sure you will).

Yes, as a matter of fact it does.

Is Ska the same as this tsb_hcy or what ever ?
You claim the device is big. Well, it is. People here don't seem to mind the size of the Zodiac. If you do, do not buy it.
Since you seem to like EVERY device BUT the one on topic, whatever the topic, why don't you set up a forum of yourself to disagree with every visitor ?
And posting that picture of the PSP. Do you imply Sony found some magical way to put a 4" screen in a 3" device ? |

To "Guest"
I have no idea who you are (ska?), but apparently you're recognized as a troll. Nevertheless, you fail to see something - Zodiac is a game system, not only a PDA. For a game system it's VERY compact. Amazingly compact when you consider everything packed into it. It's as small as it can be without being too small. I also have an iPaq 1910 which is super compact, but guess what - I'd MUCH rather have a Zodiac because it does what I want.
The only way to shrink it down more would be to adopt a a GBA SP design, maybe next generation Tapwaves will do so. But then some people will inevitably complain about that as well.
There is no "perfect" device, and no device will EVER satisfy everyone. What matters is whether YOU, the individual, are satisfied. To me, the Zodiac is almost exactly what I've wanted for a few years now, and I have no real complaints aside from the fact that I still don't have one. 
As for trolls, especially Pocket PC trolls, I come from Pocket PC - I still own 2 and they absolutely stink at action games. The controls and the layouts, and often the battery life, just don't work well for real gaming. That is why I want the Zodiac - it's a real gaming PDA.
And if you don't like the Zodiac, don't visit Zodiac forums and complain - you don't have to buy one.

Could you post a picture with the Zodiac and PSP side by side so we can compare the two? :wink: |

You mean, one picture showing both the now shipping 2003 product called Zodiac and the 2004 PSP concept model?
I think you'll have a hard time finding one.
I think we should table the Zodiac vs. PSP comparisons until Sony actually has something real to show.

Oliver, you missed Pushwall's wink. He was making the same point you were.
I agree that there's no value in comparing the size of the Zodiac to the size of the PSP, because there is no PSP at this point. The photos leaked were mockups. I'm planning to create a front-page story about the PSP soon, and will make a few additional comments about it there.
